I’m a leaf’s fan so of course I want them to win, but going beyond that, I just believe it’s a WAY better story. Boston has had so much success in football, baseball, and hockey, and now basketball (again lol).. let ‘em lose this and make history on the bad side for once. Then you have the story of Florida coming back from 3-1 to face the leafs, now you have the leafs potentially coming back from 3-1 to face Florida. Also I don’t think Boston will give the fans an entertaining series with Florida. Toronto snd Florida have bad blood, the story is there, the history is there to be made. It just HAS to happen at this point; not even for the Toronto fans but for the hockey world in general.

[@KingSulley]

@@DropBear_42 I agree, though I think Boston would make a bigger dent in the Panthers, a series against the Leaf's would be much more entertaining. I'm hoping Bennett gets what's coming to him after last year.

The Leafs are finally in a spot where the pressure seems to be off of them and entirely on the Bruins. They’re playing smart responsible hockey and actually getting some damn saves, crazy what having faith in your goalie can do for a team. The Leafs are the Leafs they are known for not getting it done that is literally their identity but now the attention is shifting to the Bruins cause everyone is starting to realize that they’ve also blown it a handful of times since their cup win. The Leafs were declared dead after game 4 with talk of big trades and firings being imminent and that still could very well happen but they’ve been playing like they don’t want that to happen for maybe the first time in the entire core 4 era.

[@jduds100]

You did show it, but I didn't hear a comment on the hit from behind. The non call just before the first goal. Thoughts!!??

[@dannypike8648]

It should have been 2 minutes each. Boston player was holding the stick for 3-4 seconds. Toronto player was trying to pull it free and ended up cross checking him into the boards. You can see the ref make a hand signal looking at the play, can't really tell what it meant, but from the look of it he felt that the two plays cancelled each other out, or that the holding of the stick played a big part in the hit happening. I still think he should have called both, rather than neither. Can understand Boston fans not happy about it since the Leafs scored off a faceoff shortly after. But in game 3 Boston tied the game was seconds after Marchand and Bertuzzi had been going at each other and should have both been given penalties causing the play to be blown dead. That shift is also where Matthews got taken down behind the net with no call, and is likely where he got injured. It went in the Leafs favour in game 6, but it went in the Bruins favour in game 3.

[@shawnpitman876]

Nylander likes to play ghost during the season sometimes, but out of all the big name guys on Toronto he SHOWS UP during the playoffs. This was only his second game of the playoffs this year and he put in two, I say he's pulling his weight and then some when it comes to post season.

This leafs team is impressive. I loved the way Woll made big saves, including that ridiculous one on Coyle. Buy I also like the way they blocked shots and didn’t allow Boston to have too many rebounds. There’s no denying Boston blew this one though.

I can accept a loss if the leafs carry their play into game 7. My main frustration with them was never the results, it was how they played. They were an embarrassing team to root for because they had no heart, no identity, no effort. It feels like theyre finally starting to get it. Boston was constsntly ditching the puck early to avoid hits, something they've needed to incorporate into their playoff performances for a long time. If they play like that and lose tmrw, i will be more excited for next season, than bummed that this season is over. Typically I curse them all off season for folding under pressure time and time again. Bruins are going to have to earn tmrw. Finally... a Leafs performance I can respect...

[@ianculliton1783]

[@davidbarnett8617]

[@Jazzmaster1992]

Everyone makes fun of the Leafs, but I feel the Bruins have a lot to lose here too. Just last year, after setting a new record for season wins and points, they blew a 3-1 series lead to an 8 seed and got bounced in the first round. A similar thing happened with Tampa five years prior, and even before that, Tampa had somewhat of a "history" of choking, considering they had multiple conference finals and one finals appearance but always came back with nothing. Their reputation for not being able to close out a series and go all the way with their talent was finally erased when they went back to back, in what was basically a perfect redemption arc. For Boston, it's starting to look troublesome. 2011 is starting to fade into memory, as are their hopes of reaching the top of the mountain again. If Boston doesn't win this series, and if they can't take the cup this year (which already seems doubtful), then they'll basically become the new Caps/Lightning as far as being regular season darlings that just were not built for playoff hockey.

[@dannypike8648]

Marchand's antics have caught up with him this series. He's been flopping all over the ice from the start. Him going down when the linesmen touched him in game 5 appears to have been the final straw. He went down 2-3 times in this game at the slightest touch and there was no call, whereas earlier in the series he was drawing penalties. Conversely, he got his first minor of the series(that gave the leafs a powerplay), and even as a Leafs fan I can say it was a soft call. You reap what you sow. Officials review game tape too, and the officials did not give him any leeway at all last game.. In Toronto we saw it with Bunting last year, and going back further with Kadri. I can't stand him, but I can't deny he is a hell of a player. His focus lately seems to be more on trying to draw penalties than elevating his game 5 on 5.
